  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake for a few more minutes.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
